US EditionTrump: US to Begin Informing Countries Friday of Tariff Rates
- On July 3, 2025, President Donald Trump announced that his administration would begin notifying countries about their assigned tariff levels starting on July 4.
- This action follows a 90-day pause on globally imposed tariffs that Trump set in April to allow trade negotiations, with the pause expiring on July 9.
- The tariffs, originally targeting about 60 countries with trade deficits, include a baseline 10 percent rate and higher fees based on specific trade deficits, with deals already reached with the UK and Vietnam.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said some partners proposed 'good deals' and predicted a flurry of agreements before the July 9 deadline, while Trump emphasized preferring 'simple deals' that allow control.
- The upcoming tariff letters aim to streamline trade talks amid disputes with key partners, signaling intensified pressure and possible economic impacts as the administration declines to extend the tariff pause.
